Mayor Daniel Lurie touted it as an important resource in his efforts to keep the city safe and clean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center houses a central hub that synthesizes real-time data from Flock cameras, drones and other public safety cameras.

He said that, while Larsen’s “crypto billionaire” title was not enough to upset him, his name had come up a lot in funding for increasing police technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kubin said that the introduction of each surveillance tool in isolation — Flock automated license plate reader cameras, drones, ShotSpotter technology and so on — might’ve made sense at the time for safety. But he worries that it will soon evolve into something else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that all those different modalities are coming together into this Real-Time Investigation Center, the whole of that is now greater than the sum of its parts,” Kubin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Mayor Daniel Lurie touted it as an important resource in his efforts to keep the city safe and clean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center houses a central hub that synthesizes real-time data from Flock cameras, drones and other public safety cameras. As of its reopening, the center helped make at least 800 arrests, \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/post/how-sfpds-new-investigation-center-is-catching-criminals-faster-using-400-cameras-drones/18247811/\">according to ABC7\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation is a critic of the center and its origin story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EFF said that these centers, which other cities like \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjpd.org/about-us/organization/bureau-of-investigations/real-time-intelligence-center\">San José\u003c/a> also have, \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/09/san-francisco-gets-invasive-billionaire-bought-surveillance-hq\">are \u003c/a>“basically control rooms that pull together all feeds from a vast warrantless digital dragnet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD’s center was funded partly through Proposition E, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11978236/propositions-e-and-f-in-san-francisco-appear-headed-for-victory\">later additional backing \u003c/a>from crypto billionaire and Ripple CEO Chris Larsen.

He said that, while Larsen’s “crypto billionaire” title was not enough to upset him, his name had come up a lot in funding for increasing police technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kubin said that the introduction of each surveillance tool in isolation — Flock automated license plate reader cameras, drones, ShotSpotter technology and so on — might’ve made sense at the time for safety. But he worries that it will soon evolve into something else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that all those different modalities are coming together into this Real-Time Investigation Center, the whole of that is now greater than the sum of its parts,” Kubin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
